Rom 13
1 Lathueng lae ukkungnaw e kâ teh tami pueng ni ngai awh naseh. Cathut koehoi laipalah kâtawnnae tie awmhoeh. Atu kaukkungnaw heh Cathut ma ni a poe e doeh.
Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority but from God: the authorities that are, have been appointed by God.
2 Kaukkungnaw ka taran e teh Cathut ni kâ poe e ka taran e lah ao. Hottelah ka taran e naw teh yon lawkcengnae ama ni a kâhmo awh han.
Therefore, he that resists the authority, resists the appointment of God; and those who resist shall receive to themselves condemnation.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaukkungnaw heh hawinae ka sak e taminaw hanelah taki hane awmhoeh. Hno kahawihoeh ka sak naw hanelah doeh taki hanelah ao. Hottelah na sak pawiteh ahnie oupnae na pang han.
For rulers are not a terror to works that are good, but to those which are evil. Will you, then, not be afraid of the authority? Do that which is good, and you shall receive praise from the same.
4 Hatdawkvah ahnimouh teh nang hane hnokahawi kasakkung Cathut e san doeh. Hatei hno kathout na sak pawiteh takinae tawn lawih. Ahnimouh teh tahloi ayawmlah patuem awh hoeh. Ahni teh hno kathout ka sak naw hanlah a lungkhueknae yon lawkcengkung Cathut e san doeh.
For he is the minister of God to you for that which is good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain. For he is the minister of God to inflict punishment on him that does evil.
5 Hat pawiteh, a lungkhueknae dawk dueng laipalah thoehawi panue e lahoi hai ngâi awh.
Wherefore, it is necessary to be subject, not only because of punishment, but also for conscience sake.
6 Het kecu dawk nan ou, tamuk naw hai na poe awh. Nangmouh teh Cathut e thaw katawknaw lah na o awh teh hote thaw doeh pou na tawk awh.
On this very account, too, pay tribute also: for they are the public servants of God, attending continually to this very thing.
7 Hatdawkvah tami tangkuem hai poe kamcu e hah poe awh. Tamuk poe kamcu e naw hah tamuk poe awh. Cawng e poe tueng e naw hah cawng pouh awh. Taki tueng e naw hah taket awh. Bari kamcu e naw hah bari awh.
Render, therefore, to all their dues; tribute, to whom tribute is due; custom, to whom custom; fear, to whom fear; honor, to whom honor is due.
8 Lungpatawnae hloilah, bang patet e laiba hai tawn awh hanh. Ayâ lung ka pataw e ni kâlawk a kuep sak toe.
Owe no one any thing, except to love one another; for he that loves another, has fulfilled the law.
9 Bangkongtetpawiteh, uicuk hanh, tami thet hanh, parawt hanh, radueknae lung tawn hanh tie kâpoelawk koehoi kamtawng teh, alouke kâlawk bangpatet hai, nama hoi kâkuen e hah nama hoi kâvan lah lungpataw tie kâlawk dawk koung a kâkuet.
For these commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not indulge evil desire; and if there is any other commandment, all are summed up in this saying, namely: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
10 Lungpatawnae ni teh a tengpam huiko naw koe, hawihoehnae sak hoeh. Hatdawkvah, lungpatawnae teh, kâlawk ka kuepsakkung lah ao.
Love works no evil to our neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 Nangmanaw ni, a tue teh na panue awh. Nangmouh inae koehoi kâhlaw nahane tueng a pha toe. Bangdawk ne tetpawiteh atu maimae rungngangnae teh maimouh yuemnae hnin hlak hoehoe a hnai toe.
And do this, because you know the time, that the hour has already come when we should awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed:
12 Karum meimei aloum teh, kho meimei a dai toe. Hatdawkvah maimanaw teh ka hmawt e nuencangnaw takhoe vaiteh angnae nuencang naw khohnat awh sei.
the night is far advanced, the day draws near. Let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
13 Caneinawmnae, yamuhrinae, kamsoumhoehe napui tongpa yonnae hoi takngainae, kâpokâdanghoehnae hoi kâutnae dawk pawngpa laipalah khodai ceio e patetlah mitkhet kamcu lah khosak awh sei.
Let us walk in a becoming manner, as in the day; not in riotings and in drunkenness, not in lewdness and in wantonness, not in contention and in envy:
14 Bawipa Jisuh Khrih hah khohnat awh. Takthai lungradueknae thap sin hanelah kâcai awh hanh.
but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
